Buying cheap Chinese knock offs is the problem with our economy. BUY AMERICAN products. If we keep buying these cheap products not only will we be supporting the Chinese economy and not our own, but we will be buying their crap once again and wasting more of our money to keep them building more cheap items for the world to buy. If you want to save a couple of dollars then do a DIY with products that have been tried and proven to work. Keep buying their cheap crap and you will be living in a world that is ruled by the Chinese. They have no regard for the enviorment or the quality of life of their people. Just a quick example, Hot Wheels cars, the paint on them contains lead. We buy these cars for our kids to play with, the little ones put them in their mouths and play with them. Would you give a lead fishing weight to your kid to play with? I realize this is a little extreme example. I will be building a DIY led fixture in the future and I will be doing some research concerning where the items were manufactured before I buy them. I do realize that I probably can't find all of the components made in the USA but I will try to.
We are killing our own economy. We as Americans need to think globally and act locally and stop buying products made in foreign countries.
P.S. self checkout registers are another job killer! Go through the lines that have a checker and help support the local economy. The job you save might be your own or your kids.
lol, you do know us export as well right. you dont want to use product made else where you find yourself have almost nothing to use.
as long as the product work, i dont see any point to use the more expensive one.
may i ask what skimmer you are using now?
